This is the third time I've received a call from these idiots on a cell phone that I just activated two weeks ago and have NOT given my number out to anyone. I am on the DNC registry, but it is likely not active yet, since I just got the phone, but I did report them. I called their number back to demand to be taken off the list, and it was a recorded message about "If you owe $10,000 or more..." something about debt consolidation - an entirely unsolicited, intrusive telemarketing call. When you press 2 to be taken off their list, instead of just taking you off the list, they ask you to leave your name, number, and the amount of your debt. Everyone who receives a call from this number should report them on the National Do Not Call registry; if enough reports/complaints are made, they may actually put a stop to it.
According to reports on a similar site, this is part of the IRS scam. Good number to block. Read about IRS scam here:

IRS scam. Said I owe the IRS and could pay immediately by phone or they'd report me to the sheriff. Do not give out any personal info, just hang up and block the caller.
